    ronnie’s birthday & bar mitzvah anniversary

    One of the best ideas for a party, ever! It was Ronnie’s birthday but instead of just celebrating a regular birthday, Ronnie decided to throw a joint birthday/anniversary of his bar mitzvah complete with games and a candle lighting ceremony! The party was in the penthouse party room of his apartment building with amazing views and lots of family and friends to help celebrate. I was so happy my aunt Mardi asked me to photograph the day! And if I lived in this apartment, I would get absolutely no work done because I’d be staring out the window at my favorite NYC building- The Chrysler Building. Happy birthday and Bar Mitzvah anniversary!!

    ethan’s bar mitzvah {the party}

    They had the party at Simplay which is a simulation space for basically all sports. So fun and kept all the kids (big and small) busy and happy. If that wasn’t enough, there was a dancing robot, a ton of giveaways, a candy and snack truck,dancing and a few celebrity videos including one from Ethan’s all time hero- Tom Brady! Mom somehow pulled off a personalized video message from the GOAT himself. Ethan’s reaction was priceless- he was beyond excited and so thankful! I hope the family enjoys reliving the party thru the photos for years to come!

    ethan’s bar mitzvah party {the details}

    The theme was Rangers (and if you know me, you know how i feel about that. In one word…no.) but the invitation read as jerseys and jeans as attire. So you know I had to pull out my Islanders jersey as a “statement”. Regardless of my hockey loyalties (and the fact that Ethan actually plays for the Junior Islanders- but thats only because if he played for the junior rangers, he’d have to play all the way in Connecticut) the party was beyond awesome and the styling was amazing! And true to form, Ethan was a perfect host, making sure everyone was having a great time (which they were).  Here are some details from the party- the party itself to follow. Stay tuned.

    ethan’s bar mitzvah {the service}

    I can’t say enough good things about Ethan. What a great kid! Infinitely patient, so mature, so caring. Like the whole package. His Bar Mitzvah service held in his backyard was lovely and he did an excellent job, running the whole service on his own. Mazel Tov to Ethan and family! Oh, and check out the wine picture at the end. They all make the same face! Stay tuned for the party pictures soon.

    Another throw back from late 2022 during the holiday rush season for me. Ethan was such a lovely kid (and I had actually met him a few weeks before his bar mitzvah at another bar mitzvah i shot without knowing he was my next “victim”) and we had some fun chats between spots for photos. I hope the rest of the day was as blessed and happy as this kid everyone was celebrating! Mazel Tov, Ethan!
